How to deal with anger?

pg.162 : Stoic 6 pack : Epictetus

Epictetus calls Anger as an example of Appearance

So when the anger appears 
be not hurried away by the rapidity of the appearance
But rather say! Anger ! - will you wait for me a little

Let me see who you are
what you care about
Let me put you to the test
let me bring in calmness and serenity
to oppose you
and cast you out!

And if you exercise this way
you shall see what - shoulders, sinews and strength you have
and this is the mark of a true athlete!

my notes:
when you have an appearance attack you, recognize it, and balance
with another beautiful and noble appearance
